I borrow
Sam Houston quote on Jefferson Davies for this blog article. Stephen
Kinnock is as ambitious as Lucifer and as cold as a Lizard listen
to him now.........now he calls for this, More recently, high profile
Labour MPs Rachel Reeves, Emma Reynolds and Steven has Kinnock
called for an end to free movement of people within the EU in
response to voters' concerns". Is it not enough that he has left
us with this given us a nest of unpleasant racist kippers within Port
Talbot now he panders to them. I feel sick just thinking about him.
As ambitious and empty of political principal..just like his father.
let us hope that the Labour party in Port Talbot because of boundary
changes lead to his reselection He has already provided a clear
message of his support for private education by sending his daughter
to the exclusive Atlantic College. It has been alleged in one blog
within Wales that he had obscured this from the selection committee
of the Labour party in Port Talbot. Once more he is all things to all
people. I heard an interview today on radio 4 today where he was back
tracking on his challenge to Jeremy Corbyn. Just mildly now talking
about electing the shadow cabinet and distancing himself from big
daddy Kinnock. Its only just really struck home to me as I write
this. I spent Thursday night debating with an earnest young man
insisting that mass immigration had been a plot all along to change
the nature of this country. This young man had claimed that
immigration migration had nothing to do with arms sales, the propping
up of dictators, and the international economy, He defended Mussolini
and claimed he was not racists. I can understand how a young man of
baby boomer parents can fail to appreciate the post war settlement of
the British state and not understand how it has helped him go to
University , live in a society where real strides have been made in
living standards and feel that he has the right to dismantle the
structure and helped criticise the welfare state.
I can
understand that that the young man has never met people who have
lived in fear of authoritarian right wing regimes throughout the
world. Never waited for their husband outside a Pinochet regime
prison or feared the knock at the door in the middle of the night
like one of my students. This a matter of meeting others and reading
about human experience of becoming a refugee. I can understand all of
this. I can understand that if you are white in a predominant white
society you will never see racism because you have no experience of
it. We are not persecuted for what we are not we are persecuted for
what we are.
I can
understand how that happens but to pander to the market, the racist
sentiments released by Brexirt and other events is something that I
cannot forgive Steven Kinnock for. We live in a time now where we
must choose between the "Libertarian but really Authoritarian
Right and decentralised Libertrain Socialism that appreciates and
makes Environmentalism its heart and to understand that resources are
not infinite. I have had enough of such lackies who pander to the
right..and I am sick at heart.
A quote from Quora:
ReplyDeleteWith the obvious exception of Hitler, left-wing dictators generally seem to have a far higher death count than right-wing dictators. As awful as Pinochet was, 3,000 people hardly compares to the amount killed under Castro, for example. If you go back to the French Revolution, Robespierre killed far more dissidents than the old regime ever had. Apartheid South Africa had a tiny death count compared to many African dictatorships and the economic exploitation and 'bantustan' system was no different in practice from the cronyism in other countries. Of course, many dictators use left-wing rhetoric which is irrelevant to their policies - Saddam Hussein's Iraq isn't known for its equality, and no one could seriously call the Nazis 'socialists' - but even with that qualifier it seems that left-wing dictatorships are on the whole far more repressive and deadly than right-wing ones.
"...or feared the knock at the door in the middle of the night like one of my students." Hmmm. Suggest a re-draft as I saw the 'wrong' meaning of this first and then had to backtrack in order to guess at what you meant.....
